The artwork titled “Zweitens, bitte schön,” created by Georg Baselitz in 2014, is a striking piece stemming from the Neo-Expressionism art movement and is classified under the figurative genre. The painting portrays a fragmented human figure, using an array of energetic brushstrokes and a palette dominated by cool tones against a dark background. The figure appears to be dissected into three distinct segments which seem to float against a black backdrop. The upper body is detailed with exaggerated and distorted features, drawing the viewer’s attention to its abstract representation. The frenetic application of paint and the bold disjunctions contribute to the theme of dislocation and psychological introspection inherent in Neo-Expressionist works. The interplay of light and shadow, combined with the stark contrast of the figure against the dark backdrop, renders the artwork both compelling and enigmatic.
